I hadn't noticed it before (due to no problems being found) but my VRM is getting rather hot, I didn't notice it until I watched a YouTuber talk about X299 VRM getting too hot due to inadequate cooling near the VRM.
I checked the temps under load with the old "stick your finger on it" method, and sure enough "DAMN! thats hot".
so in an effort to to cool the system down I attached an 80mm fan to the 8 pin EPS connector wires via a small cable management velcro strap.
build in the sig (slight changes due to testing and incoming [H]ardware )
And I thought this is the most ghetto thing I have done with this build so far.... so here's the picture because I had to share.
Oh, and i found out that I was able to make it to 4.55 GHz with this mod.
I stepped it back down to 4.3 GHz to keep temps and wear down on the processor.
